Powdery Orchid Meets Fruity Watermelon

As I am a huge fan of the entire Cartier Baiser line, the latest kiss had to join my collection, and I eagerly awaited the Baiser Fou.
Completely unexpectedly, I discovered it in February at the airport duty-free shop, even though it was actually supposed to be on the shelves starting in March. I later learned that there was an earlier launch for duty-free shops. When I saw it sitting there, I was, of course, very curious about its scent, so I tested it right away and immediately bought it.

The Bottle:
The bottle remains very similar to the others in the Baiser line - the only difference is that the Baiser Fou (Crazy Kiss) does not have a cap. The spray nozzle comes in a deep red - like a ruby.
The idea behind the fragrance - it is meant to smell like a lipstick kiss.

About the Scent:
The opening is very zesty, floral, and fruity.
From the very beginning, the orchid is very present, accompanied by strawberries and lychees, with a slightly earthy note noticeable.
Then, a very fine watermelon scent emerges - I would say it smells like luxurious watermelon lip gloss.
A light bubblegum accord joins the melon without becoming cheesy. Generally, the mood at the start is rather cheeky and bold, later becoming cool and elegant, without losing its zestiness.
The heart is nestled on yellow and pink orchids dusted with powder - the watermelon is still present, along with exotic fruits, and the strawberries are still detectable.
In the base, a vanilla note increasingly reveals itself, accompanied by white chocolate and caught in a velvety bed of creamy-scented orchid blossoms. What remains is a fresh, floral, and simultaneously sweet scent that clings delicately to the skin.

An exciting, mysterious fragrance that inspires dreaming and is not for sweet flower girls!!!

At Flaconi, the notes are: raspberry, white chocolate, vanilla, and orchid. Sounds about right!

It's sweet, but the freshness you know from the Baiser vole doesn't fade away.
Definitely give it a try!

Hmm, strawberries, bubble gum, and then a gourmand base. I think I'll pass on that. ;-) Still, I'm glad you like it. By the way, I really love the "regular" Baiser Volé because of the fresh green lilies!

The good Candy Perfume Boy also described the watermelon lip gloss. Sounds delightful!

I have that on my watchlist, but so gourmand? I don't know. However, I've always felt differently about Cartier so far. So: Testing beats talking when it comes to perfumes.
